Description

This dataset consists of 868 scanned images of wood-engraved illustrations from the year 1862. These images can be viewed at high quality using Zoomify/Javascript platforms, as well as interrogated against bibliographic descriptors and iconographic descriptions. A key output of this phase of the project is the updating of the platform, enhanced features and the mapping of Iconclass codes that allow the database to be searched in different languages.
